Wow - what a treat on Sept 29/09 to hear your band greeting the Emerald Princess on dockside at Belfast. I am a trumpet/cornet player in Burlington, Ontario, Canada and play in the Top Hat Marching Orchestra from Burlington - you can check out our website at www.tophats.org - I only returned home 2 days ago and one of my priorities was to research your band. I have enjoyed your website and will be sending along some photos from Sept 29 in due course. We have an annual Burlington Sound of Music Festival here in Burlington every June (you can google to get that website). What a treat it would be to have a band exchange with the Friendship Band here for Sound of Music and perhaps us on a return visit to the Galway Oysterfest or some other suitable venue. I enjoyed some interaction with your lead cornet player and side drum player - I only wish I had had my mouthpiece with me. Your band is awesome.
